I am planning on buying a 1976 Honda Cub 90 motorcycle. Apparently its only problem is that its carburettor leaks petrol. How difficult would that be to repair? I know nothing about motorcycles - would I have to get it serviced? And if so, how much would that be?

I have a 2004 Dodge Neon and it is leaking oil bad. I checked under the car to see if the filter was tight and the drain plug was there. They were fine. I noticed it is coming from the back right side. Oil is collecting on top of my tranny. I'm also burning more gas than usual. There is no blue smoke or smell of oil coming out of the tail pipe. Any suggestions? Or cost?

I drive an '01 Dodge Stratus and after researching the symptoms, it seems that the thermostat is stuck open. I realize that some auto work requires a professional, but some things (changing oil, replacing spark plugs, etc.) any guy can handle.

So, where does replacing a thermostat fall? I've heard its pretty expensive to get it replaced by a technician. Should I cut out the middle man and just do it myself?

Anybody have any resource for how to do work like this?

I bought a Kawasaki ER5 a few weeks back and ive just checked the coolant to find that the level is severely low. But it don't know what exactly i should and should do.

Do i just top it up or do i have to drain it and fill it up?
Where do i drain the coolant from?
What do i actually put in? Is it just antifreeze or do i buy something from a bike shop?
Where abouts between the lower and full line is the ideal amount of coolant?

I just have no idea about how the coolant side of looking after a motorcycle works. Can anyone help?

My 2003 BMW 325i has not been heating up properly for a few weeks now. The temperature gauge starts to move towards warm, but then falls back down to cold, and no matter what temperature I set the heat to, it continues to blow cold air. I had an oil change today, and had my coolant topped up, but the problem remains. Will I need to replace my thermostat, and if so how expensive is it?

The heat in my car is broken right now. I have to get it fixed, but it looks like it may be expensive, so I'm hoping that these little portable heaters that plug into a car's cigarette lighter will at least help in the meantime. I'm FROZEN by the time I get to work, especially since I have to put the defroster on which makes it even colder, and the windows still take a long time to defrost. I figured (I'm hoping) a portable car heater could at least help a bit. Can anyone who's actually used one of these portable car heaters tell me whether or not it worked for you and why/why not? Thanks!

My fiance was involved in an accident where a dump truck hit her driver side. Her car is prob. going to be totaled. She isn't seriously hurt, but did go to the doctor for her back. What should she do in order to make sure that she is compensated for her accident. I am not saying we want to make money off of this wreck, but her time missed from work, doctor bills, etc. need to be paid for. No experience with a wreck at all, much less involving a DUMP truck, so what do we do???

I am fairly certain that it is the first o2 sensor. I recently had the downpipe repaired and the code cleared. It came back a few days later. Will I need the code cleared even after installing a new sensor?

It's a FWD and i am wondering why it didn't share RWD architecture with the fantastic Jaguar XF. Heck, Ford is even going to sell Jaguar. It's a stupid business decision. What do you think? Do you think it will be a huge seller?

I have a 1993 British Spec Volvo 850 SE and last night while I was driving it the car apeard to be running a bit sluggish and I began to see white smoke coming from under the hood on the Drivers side and all my Warning lights lit up my Dash board. I added more coolant and when I got home I check the coolant resevior again and it was bone dry. Filled it overnight and it was dry again this morning when I went to check on it. I have looked at all the lines coming from/going to the radiator and nothing seems to be cracked. I cannot find the leak either. I know it's on the driverside due to the amounts of water found underneath the car last night. Also if you start the car with the coolant resovior cap off of the vehicle and rev the engine, water spews out everywhere.
I don't want to believe this is a head gasket issue, due to the fact that the vehicle has only 78000 miles on it. PLEASE HELP! I'm running out of ideas.
